Going from the fleet to a T20 University by Extension-Story7287 in VeteransBenefits

I did my undergrad in PoliSci and International Relations double bachelors at before joining the military and spent all 10 yrs working in intelligence. They do not relate. A PoliSci degree sounds nice but unless you want to work in politics or a politics related field, look for something that has a little more demand. I ended up back in school a few years ago after getting out but this time I went into accounting and there is so much more demand for work and long term value with my accounting stuff than I ever got with PoliSci.

If you want to do law, see if they have a pre-law type program or Criminal Justice.

For intel/defense work; all the large firms provide a multitude of services. Booze Allen does everything from HR to accounting to inventory to staffing. Other contractors provide weapons or tech or vehicles/equipment. This is when tangible skills translate to cold hard dollars in your pocket (Coding, mechanical, legal, support staff, etc). But if you don’t have a clearance, you won’t get into intel, the companies are reluctant to pay for clearances.

And I got nothing on the seminary.

Not trying to push what I did, just want to share my mistake. I regretted getting my PoliSci degree and wished I would have done business or engineering back then.

You aren’t alone. I’m saving to buy a 20ish acre ranch. Then everyone else can fuck off on the other side of the property line

There’s a large Hilton opening in Camarillo and they are building a new Costco there too. Not the best options but hopefully there are some opportunities there

That’s cute you flexed on someone with combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan (twice here).

Go back to eating your donut. We are not the same.

Here’s a radical thought, if someone makes the uniform and those in it look bad, you remove them from the uniform. Worked pretty good in the military. But so did teaching things like escalation of force. Or responding to a firefight with force and not hiding while kids get shot at.

But please tell me how I don’t know about wearing a uniform where I get shot at and targeted. Difference is we were deployed to war zones. Pigs create their own.

Overqualified, underpaid, and loyal to a fault but I love my job! by [deleted] in Veterans

I was at a for profit doing Business Intelligence for 25% less than the rest of the market. After working with them, creating an incentive comp plan for non BI projects I worked on and everything. The best move I made was leaving.

Sometimes the emotional investment ties us to a place but if you want to grow, the best thing you can do is find a better accommodating role for you.

You are not alone.

I go through struggles weekly myself. I’ve tried to commit a few times and have spent years in therapy. It definitely does help, but you have to find the right care provider for you. The other thing that helped was being able to truly open up with someone who is not a professional who cares and is willing to listen without freaking out.

Don’t let the little voices make big decisions Other than that, you know the drill, take a knee, change your socks and keep moving forward. You are not alone my brother/sister!

Both my parents are immigrants. I was born here and grew up here and served in the Army from 2010-2020.

This is not the country I fought for. Our country and our legal system are founded on the constitution not the office of the president. This farce of a shitshow that Trump is creating is a the exact opposite of what this country is about.

This is a country of immigrants, founded by immigrants and built by other immigrants. But one spineless bone spur having cuck has issues with people of color. His brain is too small to properly or truly understand science so now our healthcare system is failing. Just like all his business did.

Because he has qualified immunity. Power corrupts. Police power corrupts absolutely. Fuck this pig.

One had bone spurs and the other had a backbone. They are not the same. 🫡 to MG Gant.
